My absolute favourites are together and in love and by each other's side. With a promise to face everything together and with the promise to die together, oh, they have captured my heart.

Nooo. I'm going to pretend it's not over and keep rewatching it.

thinking about grief and love and my two favorite cdrama ships today, namely di feisheng/li lianhua (dihua) from mysterious lotus casebook (mlc) and lin chen/mei changsu (linsu) from nirvana in fire (nif). i apparently go for the old married couples where one of them is actively dying.

both mcs and llh are main characters dying from incurable poisons and both are more or less ok with that whereas their partners are less so. after that they do diverge quite a bit; lin chen rather famously declares that he doesn't know lin shu, mei changsu's previous identity, only mei changsu. di feisheng, on the other hand, is obsessed with who li lianhua used to be, li xiangyi, di feisheng's one and only rival.

lin chen shows up at the beginning of nif to set up mcs and then fucks off for 40+ episodes only to show up at the end to try to discourage mcs from fulfilling what he feels is lin shu's (his) destiny, because he's no longer lin shu but mcs and mcs has inherent value of his own. dfs starts out forcibly trying to cure llh to turn him back into lxy, but grows closer to llh over the course of mlc and they drink nuptial wine together and talk about the moon. at the end, dfs leaves the probable cure for llh's poison with him rather than shoving it down his throat like he would have at the beginning.

most relevantly to me, lin chen gets the chance to go with mcs to the very end. he enlists and follows him to meiling. he works to keep mcs going as long as he possibly can, he looks mcs's death in the face and does his best to delay it. he's there until the very last second. llh doesn't even leave dfs a body.

lin chen lives with the grief as it looms closer and closer and knows the shape it takes in his life. he's a doctor, he's faced this before even if it's much, much more personal this time. dfs is left widowed at the altar at their beach wedding with a hundred guests. he searches relentlessly for llh with all of the considerable resources available to him, and finds nothing. i wonder a lot about how long he searches. does he search forever? does he eventually give up? does he, a man steeped in death since childhood, actually know how to grieve?

i don't really have a conclusion to draw. i'm just thinking about who these two men leave behind and what different pictures the ones left have to work with. mcs leaves behind letters, but not to jingyan and not to lin chen, who most likely has to coordinate their delivery. llh leaves dfs his only letter where he offers fdb as his successor.

maybe it's that lin chen has to watch mcs die but gets the closure of being with him up until his final moments and dfs gets nothing. no goodbye, no grave, just the shards of lxy's broken sword. llh didn't even leave him those on purpose. maybe he gets the hope that it's not true, but at what cost?

god i love these two ships so much.

#mysterious lotus casebook #nirvana in fire #dihua #linsu #feihua #di feisheng #li lianhua #lin chen #mei changsu #rambling #i could also talk about my tendency to ship something just off the fandom juggernaut ship #either mc with someone other than fandom's designated boyfriend #or just straight up background characters #but like honestly that is another conversation lol #i'm only a little sorry i'm like this

cannot believe this musical concept album gave me Real Feelings about a character from the Odyssey who appears, like, twice

#Polites is described in the Odyssey as Odysseus's bestest bestie and then like never features in any of the subsequent drama #to the point where there's no 'canonical' version of how he died #it's either by Scylla and Charybdis or when Odysseus's whole fleet gets got for eating Helios's cows #so I genuinely think it's a super interesting adaptation choice for Jorge Rivera-Herrans to pull him out to be a major character #and then make him the first to die on the trip home #Odysseus's first major miscalculation results in the death of his best friend #Which then immediately frames his taunting of Polyphemus not as hubristic smugness but grief and rage #It IS very funny though how much more heroic and moral JRH made Odysseus (by modern standards) than he was in his stories #Also a long-standing adaptation tradition when you are the writer director and star #Will always make fun of Kenneth Branagh for making Victor Frankenstein a mostly well-meaning guy Trying His Best. Not a selfish coward nooo #And y'know. famously. there's Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton #Anyway. Jorge Rivera-Herrans and Steven Dookie gave me real feelings about Polites. I salute them #Epic the Musical #Polites

Call me crazy if u want but i dont think its that weird that the group of traumatized/abused child soldiers turned out to be pretty flawed parents. Like it makes sense to me that the only one of them who didnt seem to have that issue was the one whose entire arc was about unlearning generational patterns of trauma

#this is about atla yeah #and no this doesnt make them bad people or bad characters #like clearly aang and kataras children still loved them enough to move in w katara after aang died and want to claim aangs legacy #and the whole 'what are you talking about you know hed be proud' convo #toph seems like she had her issues fr sure but obviously lin still wanted to resolve them and reconnect #and it might not have been 'enough' but from atla we know that if toph is acknowledging outwardly that shes wrong #its because shes done a lot of internal deliberation about it #so admitting she might have been a bad mother is true to character and more significant than itd be for other characters like #anyway. i dont think it came out of left field and i dont think it ruins any of the families they had #meanwhile zuko is like 'couldnt be me i spent 3 years unlearning that shit at 16' #'try getting banished and going on a spiritual journey to usurp ur dad mb it will help ✌️'

[vinkumakkara]

like Donnie is nothing. he’s a fuckin loser and a nobody and it really wasn’t his fault Lin died. but Boss despises him because most probably all they see when they look at him is Lin’s death, they genuinely seem to go through some kinda flashback when they first see him again in sr2. it’s almost all emotion, all reaction, Boss is not a cold calculative genius who Sees An Opportunity when they meet Donnie again they’re just furious, disoriented and hurting and Volition offered them the perfect punching bag on a silver platter

#like the spite Boss feels towards this guy is completely disproportionate to his actual role in anything at all #Volition didn't have to bring him back. it could've just been Matt or some other new character Boss makes a beeline for at the start #but it wasn't. they brought back this guy instead. the guy who was there when Lin died #there is purpose there is meaning. i love it it's so raw

As there are some diversity between Diabolik lover and Twisted wonderland verses, please pay mind to each section's importance!

Gender Female

Age 17

Height 5' (w/o heels) 5'4" (w/ heels)

Weight 91 lbs

Likes Swimming, running, martial art, most physical activities, warm food, hugs (but she will never admit), good people, comedy/horror/mystery movies

Dislikes Being bored, strong smells and textures, being threatened and underestimated, hot temperature

Personality She is a hard shell to crack. At first, she acts very distant, cold and mean. She can be sarcastic if she doesn't like you. She is arrogant in the public profile, attracting many enemies. She will sass her way into a mess and sass her way out all the same. She is very proud of herself for several reasons. But she does have her downfall at times. When she's down she tends to isolate herself and wants to be left alone for days. She alters from introvert from extrovert tho it really depends on her moods. She would accept warm food as gift but she's too suspicious to eat it alone. Once you're close to her and understand her, her sarcasms are actually funny. Sometimes, she can be sweet. She is very protective and keep her friends out of danger. She's not naturally academic smart, but if she puts her mind in it, she could get good grades. She's still more prone to her physical exercises and getting stronger. Though she is not a muscle head. She's sneaky and smart, has a sharp tongue and very cautious at all time!

Diabolik Lovers universe

Species human

Blood type/taste Her blood type is a common A+. It should taste decent. However due to her diet and mental state, it often taste bitter and sour (just like her soul-). So much that one would find it revolting. Still very full with life source. Just like a horrible medicine that is benefit to one's physical body.

Abilities Spirit summoning; physical strength enchantment, invisibility. Knife throwing, knife fighting, can use just any weapon.

ᗷᴀᴄᴋꜱᴛᴏʀy

Before, it was only her and her mother, living rather peacefully. Her early childhood was decent, she was happy. Until those people would drag her out of her comfort little place and make her into a monster. Those years in her late childhood and early teenage years were hell. She has gained both emotional and physical scars. With grudges she lived on, holding on to the day where she can go back to peaceful days with her mother and her alone... But when she's back, her mother was already gone. The people said she's dead, but she couldn't accept the fact. She didn't see her body, this she believes that they're merely lying to her...

She worked for the organization for a while, observing, waiting to seek her revenge. After training herself through the missions, she managed to escape from there. She killed those she resent the most. However she was badly wounded and fatigued that when she arrived at a big house with someone in front of her, she collapsed and went into coma for three days. (She will end up in either Sakamaki household or Mukami household depending on the rp)

Extras Her ability to summon the spirit that reside in a pendant, is inherited from her father that she had no chance to meet. Her mother only left a note saying it was his possession and shecan have it. It's a black crystal that she wears on her neck. Her ultimate trump card.

Blot-like snakes comes out from her shadow amd attacks the enemies. She can control them to certain extent. But when angry, she wouldn't control them at all and those snakes will attack just anyone, friend or foe. Those snakes can extend themselves up to 2 metres and also shoot poison. She can only use it up to 15-30 minutes once a few days. It could result in an overblot if she stubbornly, consistently use it. The venom of the shadow snakes are lethal, and Lin's own venom can act as the antidote... But it will still hurt, just not deadly!

Grade Sophomore/ class 2-D

Favourite food Curry and rice

Best subject Flying

ᗷᴀᴄᴋꜱᴛᴏʀy

She was born in a secluded place in Sunset Savanna. It was a large family. She had a lot of aunt and uncles, many elder people, married and singles, and many siblings. She remembers playing with them and being happy. Until eventually they disappeared one by one at the age of 10. She was very confused and asked her parents, but they refused to tell her why. They shut her mouth, only said 'sorry'.

Until she found out what was happening. At her 10th birthday, she was taken to a dark and cold room, needles pierced her skin and ink intruded her flesh. What shocked her the most was that these act are done by none other than her so called family members. Even her father and mother avert their gaze and neglected her shouts and screams.

The twisted fate of a snake descendant, why her mother has those scale tattoo all over her body, as well. They perform that so called tradition to pass over the venom of an ancient snake, mixing the ink with small poison dose. There were only a few success that only Lin survived and all her older siblings were... gone. And it'll keep happening, her younger siblings are taken as well... one by one, they leave her.

She remembers not going out anymore and only hide away in her small, cramped room. But those people would drag her out to test if she's producing venom properly. From her developed canines that are now fangs, they would draw venom from time to time. With a boost of magic attributes, she would often go out of control and destroy her pillows out of stress. Tearing them with her teeth. And then it became her whole bedroom, the garden and such. She wanted to flee from that place. That's all she knows. She doesn't want to see her little siblings going to their doom one after another.

Such that one day she ended up going berserk and those venomous snake come out of her back, causing a wreck to the house she hated so much. Those people were finished by her. Gladly, those snakes avoided the only child that were left. Her cousin whose 10th birthday is that day. When she gained consciousness back, she cried, much to the surprise of the little boy. Apologizing to have killed his family. He didn't know what to say as well, but he was scared of her for sure. But she only protected him from being dragged by those adults. He was grateful.

They went to the nearest town and reported that their house was attacked by wild animals, they were accepted by an orphanage. Lin didn't like living there as well she started working out of the orphanage and saved up enough money to buy a small rumored-to-be-haunted apartment in a quite cheap price for her and her cousin brother and moved there with the assistance of her delinquent friends.

She got invited to the nrc shortly after much to her inconvenient. She managed to keep her brother in the apartment and often visit him to restock his food and such.

Extras

She wears a full body suit to cover her scale mark tattooes. Because she gets strange gazes if she walks around without covering them. For the sake of blending in, she likes covering from her neck to toes.

She often gets into fight with savanaclaw students.

Closeted transmasc.

Works at the monstro lounge despite her housewarden's displeasure.

also i was talking abt reborn to lex bc he was curious abt it and he mentioned “why are the female characters demonized and villainized and not given much sympathy but the shitty male characters usually get really sympathetic lighting and backstories dedicated to them and “uwu they can change” speeches” and i was abt to say i hadnt mentioned every character but uh. no yeah hes right what the fuck

#like. connal is brutally murdered yes but the story seems VERY intent on making him out to be sad w the jirachi quest #and we see his whole backstory play out and multiple characters are like ‘’he needs a CHANCE to CHANGE hes got a reason for his actions’’ #and saphira who opposes this and maintains hes horrible for yknow. being her abuser. is consistently painted as insane by everyone else #and the narrative itself #which is like… jarringly callous bc this extends to when she has PANIC ATTACKS over him and the characters just go ‘’🙄 awkwarddd’’ #and i swear to god saphira killing tara (a murderer herself) is given more flack and horror than connal literally raping her as a child #amaria isnt given any sympathy for her depression it just wants to demonize it (which is a dangerous slippery slope) #meanwhile solaris is a murderer attempting to cleanse a region and abuses his son but hes sad his parents died :( hes sad his son died :( #he couldve improved :( he had a noble goal bc all he wanted was a preserved site he just got desperate :( #and then elias bennett and zero and simon #iirc the exception is sirius who’s just boring anyways and seems to fit alongside ‘’hes sad so hes good deep down’’ logic. hes not sad #and then titania and lin ig and ive talked abt why i hate titania but lin ig i can let slide bc shes 14 #echoed voice #rape mention #in tags

[astranauticus]

anyway can we talk about how almost every upcoming liu yuning character is a tragic figure. cuz if im thinking about bai choufei for months after finishing heroes idk how many more of those my mental health can take tbh

#liu yuning #oh so that's what it takes for me to finally make a tag for him #like of his 5(?) upcoming shows 3 of them are adaptations so we know exactly how things end for all his characters #and the answer is 'not good' for all of them! delightful #like spoilers obviously but as far as i can tell #di lin (from zi chuan) has a very similar character trajectory to bai choufei #starts out in the protagonist trio slowly gets pushed onto a path that eventually leads to him betraying his brothers #and thats the one thats projected to air this year so. delightful #as a side note the zi chuan animation is on myanimelist?? wild #zhuo bufan from floating world is the worlds best swordsman in the era when guns are just starting to get popularised #you can probably already see how that's gonna go for him #completely unrelated side note but the story of zhuo bufan and his love interest is so fucking weird #like this is all from that one floating world bts live lyn did but #she is somehow simultaneously his 师妹 (younger girl taught by the same master) and 师娘 (wife of his master) ?? #no idea how that works dying to find out #and best for last! luo mingxi from legend of anle #just like. classic pathetic love triangle victim male second lead stubbornly in unrequited love with the female lead #also his health is terrible like hes constantly ill or something #like you can just tell hes gonna be one of those. pathetic meow meow wet paper bag men and im so here for it #hilariously after heroes came out a lot of lyn fans who read the book the legend of anle is based on were talking about how like #luo mingxi has this. super likeable characterisation #like you can kinda tell the entire fanbase is just really sick of the bai choufei discourse #and like desperately hoping that his next character is gonna be just. wholesome and unproblematic #well with the way the chronologies worked out in the end we're sure as hell not getting that if zi chuan airs first but oh well #the writer and director on zi chuan are from the writing/directing team of ultimate note actually so i have a lot of hope #cuz ultimate note was a really good adaptation so clearly this team knows what they're doing #actually ultimate note has 3 credited directors and of those 1 of them is a director on both zi chuan and floating world #another is directing a journey to love #c ents a small world i guess ???

*new version of Alastor takes over the Internet* Hehe.

Cursed Cat Headcanons

Curse Cat Alastor & Human Reader

Warnings ⚠

⚠ mentions of death, "normal" cat stuff ⚠

You find a strange looking cat at the shelter.

The red creature was separated from the other cats and behind a heavy duty glass with multiple scratch marks.

"Can I interact with this one?", you asked.

"I don't think we are allowed to let that one out...", the worker says. "We're not even sure if its a cat."

You were also not sure as the little creature had antlers.

"Might have been dead this morning.", they mumbled but you caught it.

"Uh...ok.", you say, feeling a little put off how calmly the employee said that. "I'll take them."

And that's how you got a cat.

Once having the necessary items and a cat tower order placed, you bring the red cat home.

It sounds a bit angry. Growling, hissing, scratching and biting the inside of the cat carrier.

Maybe they didn't like small spaces..

Their first day was...something.

You ended up having to fix or toss out a lot of furniture.

They seemed to like sitting on top of your bookshelf. Often watching as you cleaned around the room or when you slept.

Kinda creepy. And you swore you saw their eyes glow once.

But other than the strange shadows and weird noises, you didn't have problems. In fact, they took care of the spiders and other pesky bugs that managed to get into your home.

Eventually, you tried to call them by names from a list that you made but they mostly ignored you whenever you tried.

It wasn't until you were watching Hazbin Hotel that the red cat perked up.

"I'm Alastor!", your favorite character introduced himself.

The red creature then hopped onto your coffee table and stared at you, effectively grabbing your attention.

"What is it?", you asked before noticing your T.V. glitch and loop.

"I'm Alastor!", it said again. "¡'m Al@$tør!", it started to distort. "Ĭ̢̜͝'m̬̟̑͗ Á̘͉̉l͈̯̾̀á̘͉̉s͚͈̭̦̈́̈̄͒t͙́ó͎̥͡ṙ̻!", the audio was getting worse and worse as it repeated. "ł'₥ ₳Ⱡ₳₴₮ØⱤ."

Glancing at your cat, you noticed it was grinning like the oh so famous cheshire cat.

"Uh..Alastor?", you said.

As soon as you called them the name, the episode continued to play regularly and your cat had its normal happy demeanor.

"Ok...", you paused the show and went to the kitchen for snacks. "I might have picked up a cursed cat."

After that, Alastor actually seemed to like you. No longer hissing or scratching you when you tried to pet them and sought you out for some cuddles.

Hehehehe..

You had to take him to the vet for a check up and well.. It turned out exactly how you expected it to. Also, you found out they were a he.

He was number one..of the worsts cats in the vet hospital's care. They had to order new gloves meant for hawks.

After that, you got him a little bow to match the character Alastor and he seemed to really enjoy it. Of course, the red cat was quite fluffy and only the bow part was visible.

The cat tower finally arrived and you set it up. It was mostly black, coming with a feather toy as well.

"Done!", you stepped back and smiled at the finished cat tower.

Of course, like any cat, Alastor was not amused. Sitting in the packaging box comfortably.

"You know what? I'm not even mad. I used to sit in boxes as a kid.", you said and cleaned up the bubble wrap.

Things were turning out pretty well. That is until your neighbor got a weird looking pet. Now you knew Alastor was strange but he looked like a cat. Whatever the neighbor has was something else.

It was black with blue and some red. Flat looking face and a strange tail.

Maybe it was an exotic animal?

You weren't sure but Alastor hated, HATED, them.

And you made sure not to walk your little furball when the other pet was out. Making that mistake once. Once being enough.

I bestow upon ye cat Alastor!

~Seline, the person.

My thoughts on Spy x Family: EYES ONLY Guidebook (English ver) - part 1

I finished reading through my copy of the English version of the SxF manga guidebook "EYES ONLY." There's tons of fantastic information about the series, but I wanted to share my thoughts/commentary on parts that were the most interesting to me. Since there's so much content to cover, I'll be dividing it into a few different posts. Also, rather than go in the order of the book's sections, I decided to group the content based on topic. This first post will cover Endo's comments about the characters individually, as well as information about Garden.

Endo's Q&As and comments about the characters

Loid:

I like that Endo provides a reason for why Loid wears a WISE logo pin as it's something more than one fan of the series has questioned! And I totally agree with Lin about his "lack of distinctive features." Compared to so many other anime characters, especially shonen main characters, Loid's design is so plain, particularly in his hair and clothes. At least in his spy outfit he has a gun to make him a little flashier, but when he's in his casual clothes, he literally just looks like "some guy," haha. But that also makes sense for his character.

I love how Endo gave specific numbers for comparing Loid and Yor's strength (Yor: 10, Loid: 6-7)

Anya:

I did notice what Endo is talking about how Anya's design changed over time. But that can be said for all the characters really, and it's definitely not uncommon for manga-ka's styles to evolve as they get a better feel for their characters and world.

He mentions the classical language thing that was also brought up in chapter 42. Definitely makes me think that will somehow tie into her backstory.

Speaking of Anya's backstory, there was this little excerpt about the researchers at the lab. So one thing we can say for sure about her past is that she was not treated well there at all (which has been hinted at in the series).

Endo also discussed the origin of Anya's pink hair (namely, there really isn't any origin, lol).

Yor:

Interesting that he spent the most time designing Yor, and also about the origin of her stilettoes. And his apology to the cosplayers for that bonus feature about Yor's hair, haha.

I had to chuckle when he said they can't measure her strength because she keeps breaking the instruments! Also the fact that she hasn't learned how to make a single successful meal since the stew…Endo is such a savage sometimes, lol. But keep in mind that this book was originally published over a year ago, and obviously we know from recent chapters that her cooking is improving. I also like that he mentions that she has left witnesses to her work, like in Extra Mission 2. I wonder if that will be a bigger plot point somewhere down the line.

Like Anya having pink hair, Endo expresses some regret about making Yor an assassin (but his laugh makes it clear he's not terribly hung up about it!)

Bond:

I know some people are bothered by the fact that Yor is Bond's least favorite. But I think Bond's (initial) dislike for her originated from the chapter where he assumes he would have died from her cooking. Also the fact that Anya put the idea in his head that she would "murder" him if he did something she didn't like, like shun her food (which is obviously heavily exaggerated). But again, this book was published over a year ago, and the most recent chapter revealed that he definitely doesn't dislike her even if she's not his favorite. It's perfectly normal for pets to have family members they prefer over others for whatever reason.

Franky:

I love that Franky does charity work. I hope we'll see that in a future chapter.

Fiona:

It's interesting that he ranks Fiona's combat ability so low, especially when you consider what she did to Wheeler in the recent arc. But to me, that wasn't so much a display of combat prowess as it was totally raw, uninhibited willpower.

Yuri:

I love his blunt answer about whether Yuri has other interests besides Yor. Also intriguing that he mentions Nightfall when discussing Yuri's combat ability…maybe those two will meet eventually?

Information about Garden

Since Garden is still such a mysterious entity in the SxF universe, I tried to gather everything about them that the book mentions.

It's interesting that Yor sees Shopkeeper as her mentor since he taught her survival skills in her youth. The book also raises the question about how Yor found Garden in the first place…maybe something Endo will expand on in the future?

So the information Franky gives us about Garden is exaggerated? Gah, that just makes them even more mysterious!

The above was a cool bit of trivia...so it seems like the secret police might know more about Garden than WISE. Perhaps Yuri will find out about Yor's real identity before Twilight?
